The decision is aimed at giving customers an additional working day and preventing an extended disruption in banking services.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Are banks open today?<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>\u201cIn view of the proposed three-day nationwide bank strike called by the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) from September 28 to 30, 2026, coinciding with the preceding weekend holidays of September 26 and 27, the government has taken proactive steps to safeguard the banking needs of citizens,\u201d the finance ministry said in a statement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>\u201cIn order to ensure that the genuine banking needs of the public are not adversely affected for an extended period, all Public Sector Banks and Regional Rural Banks will function normally on Sunday, the 27th of September, 2026,\u201d the ministry added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The Reserve Bank of India has also approved the opening of bank branches, offices, ATM-linked branches and currency chests on the day, allowing them to remain fully operational.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Bank of India has separately approved the operation of its branches, offices, ATM-linked branches and currency chests on Sunday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cThe Department reiterates that the welfare and convenience of bank customers remains the Government&#8217;s foremost priority. The Government and bank managements have appealed to unions to defer the proposed strike, and have also taken measures to ensure that essential banking services continue un-interrupted,\u201d the finance ministry said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Why are bank unions going on strike?<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The UFBU has called a nationwide strike from September 28 to 30, with five-day banking being its key demand. The unions have also sought improvements in pension benefits, a uniform dearness allowance formula for all pensioners and an option for employees covered under the National Pension System (NPS) to shift to the old pension scheme (OPS).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The government has said it has already decided to keep the Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme in abeyance following discussions with the unions. <!-- -->The demand for a five-day banking week is still under consideration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The UFBU had also held a nationwide strike on September 11 over its demands. The unions have said they could reconsider the proposed strike if there is concrete progress on the five-day banking demand.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>\u201cResponding to the appeal made by the Department of Financial Services (DFS), Indian Banks&#8217; Association (IBA), Bank managements to defer the strike, we informed them that if there is any concrete and positive development towards implementation of our demand for introduction of 5 days banking, UFBU will consider the same,\u201d the UFBU said in a statement following a meeting with the deputy chief labour commissioner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>A conciliation meeting earlier last week ended without a resolution. The UFBU said that in the absence of concrete progress, it would be \u201cconstrained\u201d to go ahead with the proposed strike on September 28, 29 and 30.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The timing of the proposed strike is significant because September 30 is the half-yearly closing of banks. The period involves key operations such as reconciliation, provisioning, treasury and market activities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>With the strike following the September 26-27 weekend holidays, customers could otherwise face an extended disruption in banking services. Keeping banks open on Sunday is therefore aimed at providing customers with an additional working day before the strike begins.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/banks-open-today-are-banks-open-or-closed-on-sunday-september-27-ahead-of-a-3-day-strike\/articleshow\/134515612.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All public sector banks and regional rural banks will remain operational on Sunday.
